I have a small storage area in my house, which is pretty inefficiently utilized if I just leave things on the floor. Since it's a rented house, I wasn't keen on nailing shelves in the wall. I looked at a lot of shelves, but the other ones which measured at 180x90x35 cms were too large. I was almost about to buy Ikea Hejne posts, which would have been too small for what I wanted.
But then I landed on these goldilocks perfect-sized shelves. They fit my area to the last centimeter!
They are fairly easy to build in. I did it by myself. The horizontal beams have metal "wings" which go into a slot in the upright beams. I put the lowest shelf and the 4 uprights first. Once that was on it's feet, I kept adding shelves on top of it. You get a choice of what height do you want each shelf. Appreciate that customization options quite a bit.
For most parts it's pretty sturdy. I have kept a 23 kgs suitcase on the very top and it could easily take that. I am never going to load 875 kgs on it, that's for sure. Still, there's a beam that goes in the middle of the shelf so that the MDF doesn't sag in the middle. That beam is a few mm lower than the rest of the shelf, and it is not very secure in it's place. That's the only bit I wish was more solidly "in". I don't think it will be much of an issue for me, but it's a sore point nonetheless.
No other complains whatsoever. You get plastic caps to put on the bottom and top of the upright beams. It comes in a neat, but heavy package.Has connectors in case you want to use it as two sets of shelves connected to each other. All in all, a very useful product.
